A super Swiss lake with an intriguingly intricate shape, Lake Lucerne’s tantalising tentacles spread into four different cantons and are just begging to be explored - and you can do just that on a fleet of restored paddle steamers which plies back and forth against a background of snow-capped mountains such as Rigi and Pilatus. Lake Lucerne holidays offer it all - pretty lakeside villages, historical sites and a mild climate which allows palm trees, grapes and orchids to grow.
